What are your top three priorities, if elected?
I will work to create safer and more secure communities, ensure school choice and parental rights, reduce property taxes and maintaining the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) with focus on reducing the cost of living for Coloradans.
Recent polling has shown trust in government hovering at historically low levels and stark partisan divides in views of election integrity. What will you do to bridge those gaps?
I have a proven track record of bringing people that hold diverse opinions and ideals together to solve problems and work for the greater good. I will represent my constituents over my own interests.
What specific actions would you support to improve affordability for Coloradans, whether aimed at housing costs, tax burdens or other impacts?
I would support lowering taxes and a review of the current budget to determine any wasteful spending.
What should the legislature do when it comes to addressing greenhouse gas emissions and regulating oil and gas development?
It’s important to bring all of the stakeholders to the table to determine the best way to support the energy industry while maintaining cost-effective outcomes and ensuring that we have clean air and water.
Whether your party is in the majority or minority next year, where do you see actionable common ground with the opposing party?
I believe that both parties must come together to provide safer communities and support law enforcement, increase student achievement in K-12 education and reduce the cost of living for all Coloradans.
Tammy Story did not return the questionnaire.
How candidate order was determined: A lot drawing was held at the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office on Aug. 7, 2024, to determine the general election ballot order for major and minor party candidates for U.S. House, State Board of Education, CU Regent, State Senate, State House, and District Attorney races. Colorado law (1-5-404, C.R.S.) requires that candidates are ordered on the ballot in three tiers: major party candidates followed by minor party candidates followed by unaffiliated candidates. Within each tier, the candidates are ordered by a lot drawing with the exception of the President and Vice President race, which is ordered by the last name of the presidential candidate. Questionnaires were not sent to write-in candidates.
